State-specific learning progressions
chart a custom path forward.

Assessments tell you what students know. Core Progress learning progressions tell you what students are ready to learn next on a state-specific and empirically validated learning continuum.

Now you can view content and data through the lens of your state's specific learning expectations for reading and math! During the summer of 2015, our content and alignment experts analyzed each state's standards. As a result, custom learning progressions now map the unique skills sequence needed for students to achieve mastery in your state.

Core Progress learning progressions map the inter-related prerequisite skills needed to further conceptual understanding and include resources to help students achieve mastery. Two editions are available for both reading and math—Core Progress and Core Progress Built for Common Core—to optimize alignment with each state’s standards.

The key to individualizing instruction.

When teachers know what students are ready to learn next—and what prerequisite skills they need to strengthen—they can individualize instruction like never before. Core Progress includes skill-specific resources to supplement any curriculum and keep students moving forward.

Core Progress for Reading

Core Progress for Reading spans the learning continuum from pre-K through grade 12, identifying the progression of skill mastery needed to meet state standards. With a custom learning progression for each state, Core Progress aligns to the organization of your state standards—within each grade and from grade to grade.

Core Progress for Math

Core Progress for Math is a continuum of interrelated skills and prerequisites to guide teaching and learning in grades K-12. With a custom learning progression for each state, Core Progress provides the intermediate and prerequisite skills necessary to meet your state's learning expectations for the current school year.

Research-based and rigorously tested.

Since 2007, Core Progress learning progressions have undergone rigorous empirical analysis and continuous improvement. Using dynamic calibration and response data from thousands of students, skill items are ordered and cross-linked into a mapping of skills that build on each other and serve as prerequisites to one another. For validation methodology, see the white papers linked above.
